I am an active user of a Forum based on phpBB.
This Forum like many others much suffers from spam and flood.
I see the way how this problem can be solved effectively: how we can combine two incompatible objectives - to overcome spam and flood with preservation of absolute freedom.
With your help, certainly.
The missing feature in phpBB looks as follows:
1)Author of any Topic can mark any post in “his” Topic as spam/flood. (More exactly, not the Author, but the person authorized by admin, but it seems to be generally preferable to convey this right to the Author).
2)Moderator can mark any Topic in his forum as spam/flood.
3)The marked records are not deleted but filtered. By default a user of the forum does not see them. But he or she can click a button “show all” to see all records. - Different users have different interests, so everyone has right to choose if he or she would confide to this filtering.
